DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Rural North Texas Community Cuts Non-Revenue Water By 42% With Pipeline Leak Detection Technology

  Discover how a city solved its non-revenue water challenge by rapidly pinpointing three hard-to-find leaks in 13 miles of aging pipeline using a free-swimming acoustic tool.

• Diatoms — Solving An Identity Issue

  Diatoms are single-celled algae found in almost all aquatic habitats. They are very particular about the quality of water in which they live, which makes them incredible indicators of water quality and ecosystem health. Even though diatoms are collected in EPA’s National Aquatic Resource Surveys (NARS), they are not yet included as a biological indicator in the NARS assessments. The key barrier to their use has been the lack of consistency in the identification of species. 

• City Upgrades AMI System For Boost

  The city of Yakima was in search of a vendor who could provide a turnkey solution with a quality product line. The selected vendor also needed to have an endpoint that could withstand the extreme conditions experienced inside their meter pits.

• Innovative And Dependable Protection For Your Pipeline Assets In The Most Demanding Environments

  The Ductile Iron Pipe Research Association and the Corrpro corrosion consulting firm conducted a joint study of zinc coated and V-Bio enhanced polyethylene encased ductile iron pipe buried in the Everglades.  I presented the results at NACE’s Eastern Area Conference in Jacksonville, Florida in October of 2019, and a separate report will be part of the NACE 2020 conference digital proceedings later this summer.

• Alaska WTP Takes Control Of Water Quality With UV254

  With the ongoing concern about water quality in Alaska, Philip Downing, the Remote Maintenance Worker for South East Alaska Regional Health Consortium, offered a new approach to a plant’s ability to continuously monitor and adjust treatment processes in response to changes in raw water quality.

• Inactivation Of SARS-CoV-2 Virus With Preservation Buffer B

  Read the full white paper to learn how testing was performed to confirm that the Preservation B reagent used in LuminUltra® SARS-CoV-2 Environmental Monitoring Kits inactivates the SARS-COV-2 virus to ensure safe handling of samples throughout the assay.

• Remote Monitoring Helps Growers, Water Districts Do Their Jobs

  Propeller flow meters have long been an important tool for agricultural irrigation management. As water scarcity and resource management have become increasingly critical, getting the most timely, accurate readings available from those meters is becoming more important than ever. Here is how growers and water conservation districts (WCDs) are each getting the best of both worlds for their own purposes.

• From Zero To 2 Million

  Since 1977, Endress+Hauser has produced over two million electromagnetic flowmeters. That is more than any other manufacturer. “This magic number stands for high-quality measuring technology and, above all, satisfied customers in all kinds of industries,” says Bernd-Josef Schäfer, Managing Director of Endress+Hauser Flowtec AG, the center of competence for flow measuring technology.

• Planning For Total Resiliency In Fighting Contaminants Of Emerging Concern

  In the constant flow of drinking water and wastewater treatment systems, operators have precious little time to waste. When unexpected changes arise, maintaining balance throughout the process is key.

• Underdrain Designs: Why The Internal Cone Is The Most Economical Choice

  A poor underdrain design can cause filtration inefficiencies and inconsistencies, including uneven pressure drops and dead zones where water flows slowly or not at all.
